THE Linotype Printing Machine has
not sprung into being on the instant,
full created and equipped, like Minerva
from the head Of Jupiter, but is In the
nature Of revelation nevertheless. 1t
is also the sure forerunner and mighty
instrument of revolution in its ap.
plication to the art preservative of all
arts. 1t combines the best thought,
the rarest mechanical skill, the most
patient industry, the most valuable
patents of oil inventors who for years
past have given attention to improve
ments in topographic machinery. Its
the perfection OF the whole. No longer
an experiment of doubtful capacity and
success, 1t has become an accomplished
fact; and the work of Its introduction
to the general public has fairly begun.
This Is the object Of the Linotype
Company of the District of Columbia"
of which the Prospectus is elsewhere
published, and which offers induce
ments to investment such as have
seldom, If ever, been offered before.

THE WAY TO r1IRY.nAND.

what Is the way 10 fuiry-land
Which Is the road to tIkoy
Ovur the hills or over the sand,
Where the river ripples break
The hills stand listening might and day
As # to "A wonderful tale;
The river whispers along its way
Secrets 10 every sail.
They must be listening and whispering there
With the fairyfolk, ! know,
For what hut this is the sound In the air
So sweet and soft and low
The sound that floats DER the misty hills
And runs with a little shiver,
As Of thousand musical trills,
over the running river.
o hills that stand so lofty there,
Listening night and day,
Listen TO me and show me where
The falry-folk do strayi
And, river, river, whisper low,
Whisper me low and sweet;
Tell me the secrets that yod know
OF the fairy folks retreat.

A STARVING DEYOTEE.
He Will Begin the Healing Of Nations After
He Has TASTED Forty-Two Days.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. BE. P. jenkins. an
Enelishman, fifty years old. who is living at the
southeast corner of Twenty first and Bainbridge
streets, has not tasted food for more than three
weeks and says he intends to fast forty-tw
days. All efforts to induce him to eat have
failed and tonight he had conn leted the twenty
third day of his fast The last meal that he ate
was on Sept Is He told reporter tonight
that he was under divine obligation to his
Creator to abstain from food for forty-two days.
jenkins is big, broad shouldered man, with
benevolent face and winning smile, wonderful
physique. sIlvery hair and white mutton-chop
whiskers, and has Deep rich voice, and a keen
eve. He left his nome in Cornwall a month ago,
and arrived in this city about the LIST of Septem-
Der
He saws that be didn't know until he sailed
from England that he to to this city.
and that he received divine communication on
Sept. Is to go through the fast of the prophet
Elias who according to the Old Testament, is
known as Elijah, and abstain from food for
forty days and forty nights. jenkins says he is
not doing the Doctor Tanner act and at first
fused to talk about his semi-starvation. because
he said, it was mono of the publics business, and
was confidential compact between himself and
his Creator.
Before he left his English home he was a
farmer on the Cornish coast, and since 1863 he
says he has beeh professor of religion. Jen-
kins weighed PIP pounds when he began his long
fast. Tonight he weighed 1914 pounds. The
loss OF eighteen pounds has told him in the
loose manner in which his clothes fit him. He
has been growing weak since Sunday. and to-
day he was weaker than he has been yet. His
lips have lost their color They are parched
and bloodless. His face, which was ruddy, is
bleached white HIS eyes are growing dull, and
any exertion tells him. He said tonight:
after my fast Is up 1 shall fill up for three
weeks. and all the people couldn't induce me to
taste food until Oct 30 mas passed"
Jenkins claims that the work of performing
miracles will be given him, and that ne will heal
all the ills in the world; that the dumb shall
speak, the deaf hear. and the blind see.
